Would you like to live in a super small house?

In one way it wouldn't be bad if there was areas set up for a bunch of them. Almost like a mini sub division. On a lake and so on with one real size building to store kayaks and so on.

On problem I see is price. On the site some are $40000 to have built. That's nuts imo. They say you can so it yourself for about $16000. To me that doesn't add up because excavation is a good piece of the cost of the house (land clearing, evcavating, water/sewer, foundation) but that isn't needed for this place. You could wire and plumb this place with scrap from a real house so I'm not seeing where all the extra cost comes from.

It might be nice if you want to live cheap and retire real early.
